Both Brighton and Burnley look to snap out of lengthy winless runs when they meet on the south coast for their first games of 2026. Ten of the last 15 H2Hs between these sides ended level (BHA: W2, L3). Burnley haven’t lost at the Amex since 2013, although five of the seven subsequent H2Hs did end level (W2). Brighton have scored 20 of their 28 league goals this season after half-time.

Brighton had to twice battle from behind to claim a midweek point against West Ham, but it wasn’t enough to prevent their winless league run stretching to six matches (D3, L3). Although that run certainly doesn’t make for great reading, Seagulls fans will be quick to point out that their three defeats in that time came against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool, so this game represents a much simpler proposition on paper. Two draws against Burnley’s fellow bottom-three occupiers West Ham within that run will be enough to keep Brighton grounded here, but confidence should be high ahead of a return to the Amex, where Fabian Hürzeler’s men have lost just once in the league all season (W4, D4).

Things just continue to spiral downwards for Burnley, who are now ten games without a Premier League win (D2, L8) after going down 3-1 against Newcastle United in midweek. The Clarets are six points from safety, and while that may seem surmountable, closing that gap is unlikely to happen on the road, where Scott Parker’s men boast a terrible record this term (W1, D1, L7). That sole win came against rock-bottom Wolves, and also on a Sunday, with Burnley’s Premier League away record across their last ten Saturday-held road trips in the top flight making for horrific reading (D1, L9).

Brighton have trailed a league-high ten games at half-time this term (HT: W4, D5). Burnley are the worst-performing first-half team in the Premier League this season (HT: W1, D9, L9). Burnley have attempted a league-low 118 shots this campaign.

Brighton’s Danny Welbeck has only played more career Premier League games against Manchester City (22) without scoring than he has against Burnley (11) – five of his seven strikes this season arrived after the 70th minute. Lesley Ugochukwu has attempted a joint-club high 17 Premier League shots this season, with all three of his goals this term serving as team openers.

Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh was withdrawn with an injury against West Ham, while Burnley’s Maxime Estève limped off in the early stages of their midweek defeat.
